To live wisely is to learn the balance
between effort and stillness.
Even the hand that writes
must pause between words —
for in the pause lies meaning.
Count the rhythm of work and rest:
| Symbol | Count | Meaning |
| / | 1 | Beginning |
| // | 2 | Continuance |
| /// | 3 | Flow |
| //// | 4 | Strength |
| ///// | 5 | Completion |
Each mark is a breath.
Each breath, a reminder that nothing grows
without both movement and quiet.
